Cheers to 3 Years!

Caleb and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on May 23rd. Why does time fly so fast? Preslee was so nice to offer to watch Reid and Cabe and I just spent the WHOLE day together. It was fantastic! We started off the day by doing sealings at the D.C. Temple...we were blown away by how beautiful it was! And it is HUGE. You HAVE to go there someday if you haven't already, the inside is even better. It was such a beautiful reminder of how special our day was and the covenants we made to each other. 

This is on the backside of the temple...it is surrounded by beauty. 

 Don't know why i posed like that...

 When you walk through the temple there are windows so you can see all the landscape...brilliant. 

We went to Red Robin for lunch...it's one of our faves. Then we went to Ross to find caleb a nice shirt to wear...he didn't bring any out here...I think it's a good excuse to go shopping. Smart guy. 

 We headed over to the Arlington Cemetery. I never imagined it being so big...we didn't even have time to walk through the whole thing. We saw J.F. Kennedy's memorial. Very Cool.

Just as we got to the very top, we were hit by a torrential downpour. Luckily we brought our umbrella. But we still got soaked! 

 We then drove around forever trying to find the White House...I still don't believe it exists. It's impossible to get to! We got stuck in traffic forever it seemed like. We def got some good quality time in. :) We decided that we will take the metro from now on. So we headed back to Fairfax did a little more shopping then went to Cheesecake Factory. So Yum. 

I sure love my guy. Loved getting to spend the day with him. Especially when I hardly see him at all with this job. And thanks again pres for watching the little guy even when he's teething...

American History Museum

The American Museum was pretty sweet. I loved seeing the original American flag. They keep it in a dark room in a huge glass case so that the light doesn't damage it. No pictures allowed...lame.

I loved pretending I was the pres...sheesh I'd sure be a good one. 

 Michelle Obama's gown.

We ran into Chinatown on accident...a bunch of girls from Idaho sure struggle getting around this place :) Some of the girls wanted some sweets so they found a store on the gps that took us to a really nice mall. Then we decided to go to the Pentagon since it was right by the mall...and we accidentally drove right past it with no way to turn around...we need help! haha but good times make for good memories!

Feliz Fiesta!

We went to Party City to see if we could find decorations for Reid's Birthday party...I walked past the cinco de mayo stand and couldn't resist the thought of having a fiesta! I'm sure thats what Reid would have wanted :) So the girls were super helpful with bringing food and were so willing to party with us. 

 Seriously could the mustache be any cuter?? He looks like his Grandpa Reid :)

 This is the winner face of the night haha!

 The delicious finger food

 We brought out just dance 3 of course

Reid usually loves attention but when everyone was staring at him singing the Happy Birthday song with a hot flame in his face...he couldn't handle it. He didn't attack the cake like I thought he would. Maybe because mom made her favorite banana cake instead of something more kid friendly. How selfish!

 We played a little catch phase during halftime of the ball game...cant get those boys attention for too long! We were bummed we couldn't share his first birthday with family but Reid has lots of love out here in VA we are lucky to have such good friends that care enough to celebrate with us. Reid made his way around the crowd letting them know he is the coolest kid in town! Tied with Keaton of course :)

Feliz Cumpleanos Reid Man!!

Typical Tourist

I am slightly obsessed with this place. We went exploring last wednesday, the boys had the night off. I could not get enough, I kept saying how amazed I was. I'm not a history buff in the least but DC is incredible! So many awesome things to see and I'm learning quite a bit!

We went to Georgetown which is right down the road from DC and they have lots of fun shops and restaurants and of course DC Cupcakes!
